Woke up feeling okay, but that changed
Add it to the list of things I can’t control
Maybe I need to come to terms
With the fact that I can’t create my own life
Maybe it was always collaborative
A joint construction of a life lived
Maybe it was always collaborative
A joint construction of a life lived
Maybe it was always collaborative
A joint construction of a life lived
Maybe it was always collaborative
A joint construction of a life lived
You always thought
That it was singular effort
Coming forth from your center
But you were wrong
Every time you thought you were too sensitive
You were just getting in tune with a deeper truth

I spent a half hour in the shower
Coming up with my suicide note
I’d post it to every platform
Before going home
Caught up in my dream
Of being better than I have been
While knowing that in your mind
I could be anything
I fear I’m a disgusting fraud
I’ll never overcome my flaws
I can be written off as a loss
No, there is no romance
In being 30 and depressed
Embarrassed looking back at every failed attempt
To be
Anything more
Than another desperate ring
On the cell phone of God
Answering nobody
Oversaturation
Leading to another new sensation
Of pain that will lead
Into psychosis
I fear it’ll always come to this
A new self-destructive bliss
Absolving my responsibilities to you
I am a second away from death
I can feel it in my fingertips
I can touch the bloodshot eyes of the other side
Hold up your worst great unknowns
I will not die again
Hold up your worst great unknowns
I will not fall for it again
Hold your greatest flaws close
I will never blame them on you
That’s a thing this awful world would do
I will never blame it on you
The horrors of this world are true
There’s often very little we can do
But I will never blame it on you

Inundated with media
Telling us how our lives are gonna be
Protagonist and antagonist
Bystander extra in the background
The ways we once remembered how things were
Adverse nostalgia recasting the moments we were once joyful
An endless stream of fantasy drowning out all the safety
Ideology
In everything we see
Ideology
In everything we see
Conflicted is the only reasonable thing to be
How do you love the loveless empty in the everyone you meet?
How do you heal the always bleeding in the everything?
I want to love everything
How do I save everything?
How do I heal?
Everything inside of me is blowing up so gradually
Face your everything void or it’ll find a way to kill you
